Welcome to the Beran Conference 2026

Accommodation and local information for Beran Conference 2026

Beran Conference 2026 will take place at Beran HQ in Torrington, North Devon, allowing attendees to combine two days of technical insight and networking with time to explore one of the UK’s most scenic regions.

While the conference is focused on engineering, condition monitoring and practical technical discussion, we know some attendees may be travelling longer distances or extending their stay with partners or family members.

To help with planning, we’ve included a small selection of accommodation options, restaurants and notable places to visit within easy reach of the conference venue.

Accommodation options

Torrington and the surrounding North Devon area offer a range of accommodation options, including hotels, pubs with rooms, guest houses and coastal stays.

• The Royal Hotel, Bideford: Traditional hotel overlooking the River Torridge, approximately 20 minutes from Beran HQ.
• The Commodore Hotel: Family-owned coastal hotel in Instow overlooking the estuary, with accommodation, dining and access to beaches, countryside and coastal walks.
• Booking.com accommodation in North Devon: Search hotels, guest houses and self-catering accommodation near Torrington and the North Devon coast.

We recommend booking accommodation early, particularly for coastal areas such as Woolacombe, Croyde and Instow during the summer season.
